Programs
Strategic Trade Controls
The strategic trade control program at CITS focuses on controlling proliferation-related trade. Strategic trade controls, namely government efforts to regulate and monitor the trade in sensitive weapons and related technologies, are a critical tool for reducing the risk of dangerous weapons falling into the wrong hands and preventing the spread of weapons of mass destruction in the ever-expanding global economy. The strategic trade control program includes research, outreach, and training projects aimed at strengthening export controls internationally.
WMD Security
The Center's WMD Security Policy Program conducts policy research, training, and outreach aimed at improving the security of nuclear, biological, chemical, and radiological materials that could be used to make weapons of mass destruction. The program's objective is to strengthen the international standards that pertain to these deadly materials and to persuade governments and international institutions to work together to control them.
